Projector Retrofit
Selling these... see below for details.
$125 - G35 projectors
$50 - TSX lenses
$15 - D2S pigtails
$50 - Philip OEM 85122+ bulbs
$40 - 2 aftermarket ballasts
$150 - 2 Alero headlight assemblies
$20 - 2 shrouds
$450 CAD will be the price (plus shipping ontop).
-----
Sorry all, I've been away but I'm now back.
Please note that these headlights are UNFINISHED, if you're looking for a perfect setup. They however work 100% functionally, other than the right bi-xenon solenoid, which is now unplugged. The cutoff line is tack sharp and looks great. I would say it's a bit slanted up by 1 degree, but the output/brightness makes you not think about it.
As per above, I will be selling this AS-IS. Again, these headlights will require work if you want a polished product. I also had to dremel off the plastic piece behind the headlights for more clearance.
-----
I started a retro on my 01 Alero, just for fun. I have a few progress pics so far..

Looks like he has stock bulbs, atm... those projectors might not house D2S HIDs like most of us are after.

I'm trying my hand at a set right now with Civic projectors. What are you using for cuts? Dremel with a circular bit? Or cutting drill bit?

These are Philips OEM D2S 85122+ bulbs. Sorry, I'm not a fan at all of the plug-play HID kits. If you go HIDs, it has to be either D2S/D4S projectors or nothing...
Current setup is G35 projectors with TSX-r clear lenses. Further modifications include shield reshaping, bulb spacing, etc. More to come..

have you thought about putting white or blue colored LED's inside the bezel kinda like the audi, or put LED rings around the projectors? I think having a small ring of like soft white colored LED's would be a nice little touch.
